Next time you go into Asda tell them you ALWAYS discount to get more fares, so can I get a discount on my diesel please?

After all, they'll sell more, so you'll be doing them a favour.

get used to it, the gap between diesel and petrol is also gonna get wider (we have to import diesel)


im afraid the popularity of diesel cars will be its death, folk all want diesels now (god knows why)


im looking for a petrol/LPG car in the NIL road tax band.....

market forces I guess they'll blame.....its perhaps a good job those pesky Arab countries ain’t got democracy.....then they might want the price to go higher so they can have inspirational things like fresh running water and suchlike?

We are an Island (water all around us) but each summer we get hosepipe bans and droughts after 3 days continuous sunshine


Quote:
The arid climatic condition and the limited groundwater resource necessitated many middle east countries to look for alternate source of water. Moreover the increasing population has spurt the demand of clean drinking water. Due to this Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia' Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman have adopted other alternatives like wastewater reclamation and desalination since the 1960s.

Though ground water resource is available in countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain but the use of large quantity of this valuable resources is causing depletion and affecting the quality of water. It is therefore necessary that all the available conventional water resources like renewable groundwater and surface runoff are properly developed in an integrated water-resources planning context.

However in some of the countries where the climate is even more arid and where the good quality of water is very limited, desalination of seawater is used commonly for solving the problems of water supply for municipal and industrial uses.

I agree.....and if these countries ecer get proper democracy.....can you honestly see them wanting the fuel price lowered?

captain, OPEC likes to screw us, they raise and lower production levels whenever they like to push the price up, democracy would make little difference, not that they will get it

the BEST thing to happen would be for the car manufacturers get their fingers out and make a proper, practical leccy car using a fuel cell, we sent man to the moon with no petrol engine or extension leads, but we depend on a hole in the sand to keep our traffic moving

and then, and only then would the wealth stop flowing to the middle east

No hosepipe bans here, and shed loads of water. Much of it exported to you lot.
BTW Your water system leaks more water than you actually use. Maybe someone should fix it.

It's stubbornly locked at the £1.40 mark in the Brum area as a minimum, with many a few pence over that.

Even some of the Tescos are at 140.9p.

So yes, I think we're into another fuel price rise spiral.
